Nina, in Marina Mazatlan

This reproduction of Nina, Columbus' famous ship impressed me when I saw it in Mazatlan. This vessel had more sail area and finer sailing lines than many of today's cruising sailboats. It was also brutally sparse. Columbus' sailors were tough to cross an ocean with so little accomodation and protection

Max & Friend

Max met this burro in Copala and it followed her like a puppy for the rest of the day

Copala's New Church

Two hundred years ago this Catholic church was built in Copala to replace the previous one. It is still called the "new church".

I am a sailor, born of a nautical tradition passed to me by my father and my Grandfather Alfred. I’ve spent most of life on my passion which is the sea and the vessels which go upon them. I have had many such vessels and now I live on and sail on the sloop WINGS. which I acquired in 1986 with my wife Judy who shared my passion. For ten years we lived on Wings in Seattle and sailed, including racing. Then we left the Pacific Northwest and voyaged across the world, across the seven seas, to faraway places, and made them our own. For thirty-eight years I have lived and loved this life. I still live on Wings, in Mexico, and sail and race often. Judy passed away in June, 2023 and I miss her but you can still join us and sail the seas as we did for all those glorious years.
